===History===
 +
Not much is known about Stone-Trolls, sometimes called Hill-Trolls, except that they are native to Northern Middle-Earth. They are slightly more intelligent then other breeds of trolls, able to communicate with each other as well as other races. Unfortunately, most conversations tend to end up becoming violent arguments. They lived for a long time in the land surrounding Rivendel, an area called Trollshaws. They used to waylay travelers to use them as food and a way to gain resources. One such group captured a company of Dwarves -and a hobbit- decades ago. Since then, the Elves and the Dunedain have chased them back to their ancestral homes, the Ettenmoors. As vengeance, they kidnapped the Chieftain of the Dunedain, Arador, and killed him.

===Campaign Notes (War of the Ring)===
 +
A shadow now grows in the region Eriador, and the small area previously known as the Trollshaws is no exception. Under the thralldom of some evil presence, the Stone-Trolls are mobilizing and attacking in an organized matter. Many elves are panicked, because trolls are not intelligent enough to make strategies on their own. Whoever is controlling them must be powerful indeed....
